Page 89 of Just Between Us

“Is that a promise?” I ask him with a raised eyebrow.

Kai’s smile is smug as he swipes the deck from my hand and begins to shuffle. “More of a warning.”

“We should raise the stakes then,” I say, an idea coming to me.

Across me, Cole looks at us innocently. He’s terrible at any card game which always makes me a little happy because he’s annoyingly good at everything else.

“The last person to finish has to get on their knees for the winner.”

Kai’s lips part and I give Cole a wicked smile because I know he’ll be last.

“What about Lauren?” Kai asks, looking behind us at the curtain.

Cole laughs quietly. “Let’s just say Levi and I have travelled with her a few times, and she knows not to disturb us.”

“Right, of course,” Kai says, shaking his head with a smile. He’s quickly learning. “Shall we begin?” He distributes the cards between us.

Cole sets his card down first and I follow. Everyone is quick and a few minutes later, Cole is the first one to finish. I stare at him and he’s smiling like a kid at Christmas. What the fuck?

“What was that?”

He blinks once. “What was what?”

“You won,” I say.

Cole’s smile spreads into a grin. Kai looks between us. “Am I missing something?”

“Cole is awful at card games. He never wins.”

“It’s just that you really like winning, Evie. I’ve never had the heart to disappoint you,” he says. “But I liked the stakes on this one, so I turned it up a little.”

My jaw drops. “You’ve been letting me win all this time?”

He shrugs and I can barely believe it. He’s been pretending to suck at UNO, even with my parents. Next to me, Kai is laughing and my ears heat. I roll my eyes, looking away from him and turning to Kai fully. “Let’s play.”

My round with Kai is quick and he makes light work of beating me. “Sorry,” he says cutely, planting a quick kiss on my lips.

“No way, another round,” I say, shaking my head. I never lose a game of UNO, and I feel ridiculously annoyed that they won. I’m not a sore loser or anything but Cole has been letting me win for years and Kai is good. I’ll never win a game again.

Across me, Cole spreads his legs wider and raises an eyebrow. “I think you’re forgetting something.” His eyes fall on Kai. “Come sit next to me, princess?”

Kai does as he’s told, and I try very hard to look like I hate this. I may hate losing but I do love Cole’s cock in my mouth. I sink to my knees and undo his belt just as he pulls Kai into a kiss. Cole is already half hard when I wrap my mouth around him, gripping him tightly with my hand. He cards his free hand through my hair, and I hum around him as I sink. He breaks away from Kai and both of them look at me, starry-eyed. I think I’m getting addicted to that look.

I pull off and lick down his shaft, running my tongue down those gorgeous veins.

“You’re so fucking sexy, Levi,” Cole rasps out.

I blink up at him through my eyelashes. I know what I do to him, what I do to both of them, and it makes me feel like the most powerful man on earth. I tighten my grip around him and sink again, going faster.

We only manage to play another round which Kai wins, and I lose again. The pilot announces over the speaker that we’re approaching our destination and asks us to take our seats. When the plane finally lands, I look out the window and it all clicks.

My eyes meet Cole’s as he smiles.

“Welcome to the South of France.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Kai

I feel a little silly in my sweater as we pull up in front of the hotel and everyone around is dressed in expensive linen and designer clothes. The thing is, we’re not just in the South of France, we’re in Monaco and it’s the Formula One race weekend which we are watching apparently.
